Material resources and waste — SOER 2010 thematic assessment
Material resources and waste — key message 2
SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated)
Published 28 Nov 2010
Resource use and waste generation in the EU-27 have been decoupled from economic growth. However, in most countries resource use and waste generation still increase in absolute figures. Although resource efficiency continues to improve, the growth of material productivity has for decades been slower than the increase in labour productivity. There are no indications that the 6th Environment Action Programme (6th EAP) objective of the EU becoming 'the most resource-efficient economy in the world' is being met.
